Michael, that was some news story. haaaaa.  I hope Clay's shoes fit the criminal okay. 

Janelle,  thank you.  I haven't left the house in a couple of days and the term stir crazy comes to mind.

I posted a link on the 64 guest book you might wanna see.  My son Clay was involved in one of the funnest stories you will ever hear about a rodeo bullfighter, an escaping inmate, and a rapper named Bunny B

Lynell, Thank God, you had surgery. I got just a little nervous when I saw you posing with a "hand puppet." Whew, am I relieved.

Lynell, you and I are in sad shape. You've got a sock puppet friend (of sorts) and I'm resorting to Mr. Potato Head as a Life Coach.
 
And you are correct in that statement about the keys being part of an earlier "litigation". Had to take the former Miata owner to Small Claims Court in 2008 to get $$ to replace one set of keys he was supposed to deliver. Maybe the key soaking is some sort of Cosmic-Kharma Payback for winning that case?
 
Cynthia, we had an unusual "find" on the way home from Dallas. We stopped off in Tehuacana, TX, to donate some Ben A. Matthews memorabilia to the museum at the former Westminster College. Matthews was the Athletic Coach there back in 1929 at the young age of 26. Here is a link to the tiny community and school:

In 1930 Ben moved on to Dallas to coach at Sunset High.
 
Jud, I had my "murse" (man purse) with me at El Fenix and told anyone who asked that it was a camera case.
 
Charlotte - I am off to Walgreen's to buy a new battery for the car remote. Barry Gibbs generously gave me that same advice, plus urged me to take the thing apart and get after it with a blow dryer. We shall see ...

Lynell, you look so wonderful...are you sure you had surgery yesterday?
 
John, your remote will work with new battery, but you probably have to go to the dealer to get one....they make 'em that way$$$$$$  I just went through that with Terry's remote!

John - I think it is just you.  Likely would go with either less pockets to check or stop putting things in all the pockets.....  Funny story again nonetheless.  Hope you found more of interest for your efforts though.  By the way, did you find anything of interest on your trip up North and back?  That is beside all the interesting El Fenix folks....

Here's me and my new friend Midge.  I woke up after hand surgery yesterday, and there she was.

Oh, noooooo.  Was that the Miata key that was the subject of litigation?

Please, not a fanny pack! How about a man purse?

After a wet, squishy metal detecting hunt yesterday, I came home and threw my muddy cargo pants in the wash. Of course I checked all the many pockets first - or so I thought. Later in the day I found my car keys in the bottom of the washing machine as I was transferring the clothes to the dryer.

The keys are attached to a remote that controls the Miata door locks, trunk hatch, and panic button. For some reason none of the buttons work anymore? Fortunately, the key still starts the car, but the other functions ... nada, zip, zilch.

There is no fool like an old fool. Last month I made the same mistake - only that time I left my wallet in one of the pockets. Got to go through the pain of replacing all paper ID items like my Medicare Card etc.

Given my level of dementia, I can only come up with two solutions:

1. Quit wearing cargo pants and buy some jeans and a fanny pack, or
2. Instruct my wife to use my metal detector to go over all my clothes before they go into the wash.

Have others of you experienced a similar problem or is it just me?
 
My "Life Coach" (Spud McPherson) gave me a harsh lecture this morning on the consequences of leaving such items in the pre-wash laundry pile.

Looks as if a good time was had by all at the luncheon.  Steve and I actually ended up at the El Fenix in Mesquite about 3:00 p.m. after we had taken care of several things and I thought about you all.  Hopefully, we can make the next one.

Sorry, Johnny.  Thanks for letting us know who you are.  I hope you post on here frequently!  That's the only rule here -- sign your first and last name.  It was great to see you at the luncheon, and great to see you post on here.  Please come back any time!

Lonnie Harmon sent me a picture of Lillian Scoma to add to yesterday's group.  Thank you!!  I claim addlepatedness as my excuse for missing her.  I have no excuse for failing to take my husband's picture other than -- DER!

Jud, I think you and your wife should saddle up and come to the next SOC luncheon.  They're always fun.  What's ten hours of painful traffic?

John, it was great to get to hang with you and Dru at the luncheon.  Tell Dru women throughout the world are upset that Bobby is off the market in case they suddenly find themselves "out there" -- Russians, Chinese, Aussies, Okies.  However, he's happily married to a beautiful, warm, lovely woman who's a young SOCite.  May they have many years of wedded bliss. Everyone is happy for these splendid people.

Can't thank you two enough for making the five thousand mile drive in the yucky weather.

So, did you stick El Felix under your shirt?

Dru and I had a great time at El Fenix, but two hours just zips by so quickly. There were many there whom we didn't get to visit with and I apologize to those I missed.
 
I almost complained about the wet weather and then recalled that a week earlier the place would have been covered with snow. So the rain wasn't all that bad after all.
 
The weather did thwart my plan to metal detect nearby Coffee Park and search for the famous "Greer Garson" geocache. Bill Akins had a wonderful story to tell of his personal encounters with Greer years back.
 
Also, it was good to see new faces like that of fellow ROTC-er Johnny Brown.
 
I looked around for familiar faces from the Class of 1962. "There's Bobby Moffett", I said to Dru. She made a sour face and replied "I'm still mad at him ... for getting married". Cracked me up.

Great pics and video! Dang it, I need to hitch up the wagon and head north for one of these luncheons!

Well it was an ugly day outside but beautiful people showed up for the luncheon.  It was a wonderful event.   I think John and Dru deserve the EL Fenix statue for driving the furtherest.  So nice to see everyone.  Thank you for sharing the photos - they are great as always and Thank you to Mary Kay and Peaches for starting off 2011 luncheons.  A few of us from the Best Southwest Cities in the south talked briefly about one of the events out our way - more to come at a later time and date.

Bill, I'm not talking. 

That's a pretty cool piece of art.

Great luncheon!

Lynell, that little statue of El Felix didn't end up under your coat did it?

Martha, I could use some names on a few, too.  That's why none are named (other than the manager, Alex who's an awfully nice man that we know, and the statue of El Felix.  I know most everybody there, but have learned not to name any on here if I can't name 'em all.  It was nice to see some faces, like Johnny Brown, who haven't been to many of these.  They're always fun.

Thanks Lynell.  Great photos of a good looking bunch of SOCites.  I could use names for a few.  Wish I could have joined you.

Lynell:

Thanks for the pictures. I really enjoyed lunch, and visiting with all my SOC friends. I'm sorry it took me 23 years to attend a class function, but I look forward to attending many-many more.

I hope everyone returned to their homes okay. I know John S and wife had to drive back to the Houston area.

Okay, I posted the pictures that I took at the luncheon today on the Images page here. Just click the top button to get to the photos.  Maybe Lonnie and Cynthia will send me theirs (and anybody else who took pictures.) I know I missed a few people, so I hope they got them. Lillian Scoma, for instance. And my husband, of all people to miss.

What a luncheon!  There was a nice turnout despite the icky weather.  It's never too cold and drizzly for enchiladas!  Pictures coming later.
